Buch or Buche?
Hi all,
I'm reading Der Kleine Prinz. I found this sentence:
In dem Buche hieß es: »Die Boas verschlingen ihre Beute als Ganzes, ohne sie zu zerbeißen.
My question is, why the word Buch has an "e" at the end? The word is not feminine and I don't see any declination that makes this change...
Thanks!

Masculine and neuter singular nouns used to end in -e. While still acceptable nowadays, it's mostly confined to set expressions like "nach Hause."
